Document the secondary expansion method. Also, some other documentation
cleanups. If we find a make error (invalid makefile syntax or something like that) write back any tokens we have before we exit. If we have waiting jobs (using -j + -l) set an alarm before we sleep on the read() system call, so we can wake up to check the load and start waiting jobs, if there are long-running jobs we would otherwise be waiting for. Suggested by Grant Taylor.

+ * main.c (die): If we're dying with a fatal error (not that a
+ command has failed), write back any leftover tokens before we go.
+
+ * job.c (set_child_handler_action_flags): If there are jobs
+ waiting for the load to go down, set an alarm to go off in 1
+ second. This allows us to wake up from a potentially long-lasting
+ read() and start a new job if the load has gone down. Turn it off
+ after the read.
+ (job_noop): Dummy signal handler function.
+ (new_job): Invoke it with the new semantics.
+
+ * docs/make.texi: Document secondary expansion. Various cleanups
+ and random work.

Rename .DEFAULT_TARGET to .DEFAULT_GOAL: in GNU make terminology
